As the great New York Yankee catcher, Yogi Bera once said, "It's djja'vu all over again". In this case, its nothing more than a replay of Carters 1976 campaign, ending in his election. In the course of Carters four years in office, this nation suffered on every front. Ecomonics, security, defense, intelligence on both the foreign AND domestic levels suffered almost irrepairable damange, and on the domestic front.. That is, the standard of living of each and every American family reached its lowest point since The Great Depression.  In foreign policy, Carter, over and above the peace treaty reached between Began and Sadat, and we know the final outcome of this move, America saw its positon in the world fall to a point not seen during the course of her existence.  Why? Because the American voters were "hoodwinked" into believing Carter would bring "Change". we could belive in. Yet in reality, the only changes Carter brought about were some of the highest interest rates in our history, double digit inflation, double digit unemployment and an ecomony that found itself in the second largest downturn ever known.  These things are exactly what will come along again if Obama and the Democrats again take over. We will once again find ourselves measuring the results by the same means which Reagan used... ""The Misery Index".

Scary scenario? Obama wins the White House. The Democrats sweep into power in The House of Representives and The Senate. This is highly possible as come November, the Amercan voters, should the current ecomonic conditions continue to go downhill, will vote on emotion, NOT thought.  The result of this will be two of the most "gut wrenching" years this nation has known in our entire history. Obama and the Democrats are NOT captailist. They do not believe in the free market system. What they will see from the result of the coming election will be a "mandate" to move this nation away from our current system, that is free market, capitalist ecomony, and bring about one which will be more akin to something based on the Marxist-Lenin theory. All one has to do is look at the current mindset within congress. Richard Durbin (D) IL) is shouting about the enormous profits currently being made by the oil companies. Yet, what he is not saying, is that within the City of Chicago alone. there are TEN LEVELS of taxes on each and every gallon of gas sold. This amounts to 79.2 cents in taxes on every gallon sold. The Illlinois government is beside itself over the high price of gas. Looking for about $220 MILLION in NEW TAX DOLLARS, they are estatic! Durbin, as well every other politican, will NEVER say one word about the amount of taxes each driver in this nation pays on each and every gallon of gas.

Not only are the politicians rasing hell over the price of gas, they are now beginning to use terms like "Reasonable Profits Board" to ensure the oil companies make only the profits THE GOVERNMENT says they can. During congressional hearings on Thursday. members of Congress like Maxine Waters (D) CA) while stammering over use of the term "socialism" and "nationalization", finally settled for saying "take over" in reference to government control of the oil industry in this nation.  This is the same manner of retoric used by Hugo Chavez after taking power in Venezula. Moving that nation to the same form of socialist government as in his idol, Fidel Castros Cuba, he has managed to create a nation totally in turmoil.  Shortages of such basic things as FOOD.. building materials and GASOLINE among others are now common place. In response, the prople finally drew the line and voted by almost a 3 to 1 margin, NOT to allow this nutcase "unlimited" power. Although you may sit back and think.. "This could never happen in The United States".. think again. If and its NOT as big an if as you may think, Obama and his cronies do manage the takeover currently within sight, this is not only a possibility, it WILL happen...

Earlier, there was reference to something called "The Reasonable Profits Board".. This is something,  under the guise of "protecting the American ecomony and consumer" Representive Paul Kanjorski (D) PA) has proposed! This board would be established in order to determine the amount of profit the oil companies could make. Here are some of the basic "duties and responsibilities" this "board", according to Kanjorski, would have:

1. HR 5800 would tax industires "windfall" profits.  2. This bill would establish a "Resonable Profits Board" to determine when these companies profits are deemed, in its judgement, to be excessive and tax them on these profits.  3. As oil and gas companies profits increase, so wouild the tax rate on these companines increase. 

Kanjorski maintains this bill would encourage oil companies to lower prices in order to prevent them from being tax at a higher rate. This is NONSENSE. Like any Democrat, Kanjorski either has absolutely no knowledge of the free market, capitalist based ecomony OR more likely.. they are hell bent to destoy the very foundation which gives this nation one of the highest, if not the highest, standard of living in the entire world. Their entire agenda is arranged to weaken this nation as much as possible, as fast as possible. It matters NOT where this weakness goes.. ecomonic, defense, national security.. you name it.. All they care about is to do as much as damage as possible, as fast as possible.  Like Obama said in his book, "Dreams of My Father" if the politcial climate goes bad, I'll side with the Muslims. He has also said, in this same book, he did as much as possible to distance himself from "his mothers race".. These things, along with others, show all to clearly, exactly what he is and what he along with Democrats plan for this nation.

The plain truth is (and to be somewhat polite,  I paraphrase here).... "If you took all of the knowledge Democrats have about ecomonics and shoved it up a nats butt, it would rattle around like a BB in a battleship"

In the Carter years, we were not faced with the situation we now find ourselves. That is there was not an all out war between not only America, but all of the Western World and fanatical Islam. In Carters time, North Korea was not a nuclear power and Iran was not well on its way to becoming one. Terror organizations such as HAMMAS were not in the forefront of the of violence currently in existence in the middle east. Other nations such as Syria and Venezula were not the major threats as they currently pose.  Yet,  even with the abscence of these threats, still we found ourselves in what was termed an "energy crisis".  If the Democrats take control with Obama, NOT McCain in the White House, the "crisis" which came about under Carter will seem like a garden party compared to what will occur. This is over and above the damage that will be done to rest of our ecomony.. National security will become something for only polite social discussion at the various Washington cocktail parties.. NOT a matter of urgency.  National defense, the condition of our military, will be an even lower prioty. Something which is deemed to be "not a major need" of this nation. Illegal immigration.. This is something they WILL encourage as the more illegals, the more votes they will see. 

This nation needs a wake up call and should the Democrats manage to sweep into power come November, this is exactly what it will get.  The two years this nation must suffer will become the most tragic time in our history. The saddest outcome will be those who will loose everything.. and those who will die as a result of their "agenda". Attacks on our soil will no longer become breaking news, they will become a matter of daily life. No where will be safe from the terrorists Obama and the Democats support. Malls, offices, trains, planes, highways, resturants, cafes... all be the sites of homocide bombers.. And the Democrats will do nothing but continue with their agenda of coddling, support and excuse making as a result.

It will be.. "Deja 'Vu all over again".
